I have seen probably thousands of olive trees in Spain, Greece and Italy,
many of them over a
thousand years old but not one of them over fifteen feet tall - and only rarely
that high.

Maybe I need my glasses changed. I am sure the olive trees at Neot Kedumim &
the Jerusalem Zoo were a good 20 or so feet at least. Maybe we have a
translation problem. I don't have time to keep looking, but the first Web site
I found says it grows 30 feet tall.
